Values

If you want an accurate picture of your present values, analyze how you spend your time each day. Ask yourself if your activities reflect the things that are - or should be - closest to your heart. (Kay Arthur, Search My Heart, O God, 1 May)

Instead of worrying about other people and trying to pronounce judgement on their needs and efforts, it would be better to concentrate on .. [my] own progress. (Food For Thought, 29 April)

• I spent a lot of time yesterday on the phone. I called my high school friend, Thad, in Philadelphia and Melva in Panama. I received phone calls from John in Crofton and Gary in Odenton.
• I finished my review of the Art Cover Exchange envelopes that I intend to send to my friend Charlie in Elyria, Ohio. All that remains is to pack them in a box or boxes and go to UPS to make the shipment.
• Another day of rain is expected today. The trees and bushes look beautiful. I'm waiting for a sunny day because I want to take some photos of the azaleas while they are in full bloom.
